Only nba player to snatch a Bat on court 4
Harden fan: the only NBA player who has caught a bat on the court. (In November 2009, in a match between the Spurs and the Kings, a bat brought into the stadium by the audience suddenly flew into the field, forcing the game to pause. The Spurs' home mascot was busy carrying a net bag and could not catch the bat. However, when the bat flew close to Ginobili , the Argentinian turned around and slapped the flying bat to the ground. Ginobili then picked up the bat and gave it to his master. Manu was vaccinated with rabies.)

watch the Spurs win 50 and make playoffs again
Raptors fan: I want to see the Spurs win 50 wins and then enter the playoffs .
[–]Thunder treemeista 376 indicator 13 hours ago
I mean, is it really that big of stretch to say the Spurs will win 50 games this year?
Thunder fan: I think it should be no exaggeration to say that the Spurs have won 50 wins this season, right?
[–]Spurs SordidCanary 455 Indicator 13 hours ago
Naw - take a team with 47 wins, then add DeMar Derozan and Jakob Poeltlt. Someone makes an argument that we aren't at least a 51 win team and I'll give you a nobel prize.
PS: we are now one of the younger rosters in the league, surprise, surprise motherfuckers!!
Spurs fans: Not bad - we already had 47 wins last season, and now we add DeRozan and Jacob Pelter . If someone can say with a reasonable and reasonable basis that we cannot win at least 51 wins next season, then I will award you the Nobel Prize.
PS: We are now one of the younger teams in the league. It’s an accident, so fucking surprise! !

Never a terrible time to be a spurs fan. We had a pretty good off-season, made the playoffs last year.... Whats terrible about that?
Ginobili Fan: As a Spurs fan, I don't think it's bad. We were doing well in the offseason and entered the playoffs last season... What's the point of being grim?
[–]Mavericks suzukigun4life 1178 Indicator 14 hours ago
Duncan gone, Parker gone, Ginobili gone, the whole Kawhi fiasco. Definitely a turbulent time for Spurs fans to say the least.
Mavericks fans: Duncan is gone, Parker is gone, Ginobili is gone, and the whole Kawhi fiasco is gone. For Spurs fans, this is at least a turbulent era.
[–]oakled 700 Indicator 14 hours ago
Simmons gone, Green gone, Anderson gone, Pau's contract, Patty's contract, Pop on his way out and Aldridge isn't getting any younger.
Just like Kyrie, we may look back on Kawhi's trade request and realize that he was just proactive in getting out before the team collapsed around him.
Simmons is gone, Green is gone, Anderson is gone, the wife's contract, Milles 's contract, Bobo is about to retire, Aldridge is no longer young. Just like Irving , maybe we will look back at Kawaii's departure request. He just pulled away as soon as possible before the building collapsed.
[–]Spurs thepop 435 Indicator 14 hours ago
Bruh, Kawhi leaving was never the problem. It was how it was handled.
Spurs fan: Lao Tie, Kawai's departure has never been a problem. The problem is how he handles this.

Neither did Duncan, I feel like they prefer it to go this way.
Duncan is the same, I feel like they all tend to leave in a low profile.
[–]Spurs RealGoodBub 265 Indicator 14 hours ago
He actually got a pretty good send off in game 4 of the Warriors series in 2017. Whole crowd was chanting then standing ovation when he subbed out for the last time. Then he came back lol
Spurs fan: In fact, in the fourth game of the series with the Warriors in 2017, the audience gave Manu a good farewell. The audience shouted his name, and the audience stood up and ovated when he was replaced for the last time, and he came back to play, hahahahaha.

From the 04 Olympics to postering Bosh to blocking Harden
One of the best players to watch
Possibly the best entry passer ever
#ThankYouManu
Celtics fans: Winning the Olympics in 2004, dunking Bosh in 2014, and Harden in the 2017 playoffs.
Ginobili is one of the most popular players in the style of playing.
may be the best player to pass the ball to the inside.
#Thanks Manu
[–][HOU] Pat Riley moreyball 193 Indicator 14 hours ago
wow. Respect to one of the greatest global players ever. As a rockets fan and a hard spurs hater, you can do nothing but respect manu. Even after his old ass blocked harden and ruined my whole year.
Rockets Fan: Wow! I am unanimous to the greatest international player in NBA history. As a Rockets fan and hardcore thorn black, I only have respect for Manu. Although he made Harden's old bone hat, I hadn't had a good time for a year.

Thanks for making me love the game, Manu. As an Argentine this is incredibly difficult to process, he IS the face of basketball in the country.
